To add to that:video-game saleslook at TV: who has TV shows and who doesn't, who has had TV specials and who hasn'tfan-films: I don't mean Youtube ones, but ones that were clearly done over a long period of time with originally shot footagemerchandising salesYou can't just look at books and movies: you have to look at the entire franchise they have set up.

It depends. Plus, you simply can't compare the first Star Wars to the Potters as the box office climate was ENTIRELY different back then. Also, Potter-films are bigger than Star Wars in various countries (Japan, Germany, France, United Kingdom, China, Australia). Now, if we bring the books into the equation, it becomes a completely different story. The impact of the Potter books are unlike anything before. You could easily argue Potter had just as much, if not a stronger immediate effect on the world. Besides, Potter turned millions of kids to love reading. That in itself is a phenomenon.

HP is an international book phenomenom. The movies are just gravy. How international it is, is appearant in that the movies were successful everywhere, compare that for instance to The Hunger Games. I was not aware that SW sold lot of books. I bought one in 1978 and read it. It was terrible, just a retelling of the movie.
